The Incredible Hulk - Watch Full Movie Online

The Incredible Hulk is a 2008 superhero film based on the Marvel Comics character the Hulk, and was released on June 13, 2008. It is directed by Louis Leterrier and stars Edward Norton as Bruce Banner / The Hulk, Liv Tyler as Betty Ross, William Hurt as General Thunderbolt Ross and Tim Roth as Emil Blonsky / The Abomination. The film follows Banner as he flees the pursuit of General Ross while attempting to find a cure to rid himself of the Hulk. When Blonsky personally volunteers to be injected with Banner's gamma formula to aid Ross in his capture, he becomes an even greater monster, and Banner must accept his inner beast to defeat Blonsky.

A series of flashback shots show the gamma radiation accident that transformed scientist Bruce Banner (Edward Norton) into the Hulk, and hospitalized his lover, Dr. Elizabeth "Betty" Ross (Liv Tyler). Banner becomes a fugitive from the United States Army, and Betty's father, General Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross (William Hurt). After 5 years on the run, Banner now works in a soft drink bottling factory in Brazil while attempting to find a cure for his condition with the help of an Internet friend. He also studies martial arts and meditative breathing techniques with a judo expert to help control his emotions, not having suffered a transformation for over five months.

After Banner suffers a cut, and his blood finds its way into a soda bottle eventually drank by an ill-fated consumer (Stan Lee), Ross discovers Banner's location, and sends a team to capture him, led by the British special operations expert Emil Blonsky. Following a ferocious battle in the soft drink bottling plant where he transforms into the Hulk, Banner escapes Blonsky, and ends up in Guatemala.

Banner travels back to the United States to Culver University, where the Hulk was created, in search of the original research data. While staking out his old research building, he sees that a now-recovered Betty is still working at Culver University and is in a new relationship with psychiatrist Leonard Samson (Ty Burrell). He runs into his old friend Stanley, a pizzeria owner, who gives him a job as a delivery boy. Banner uses this job to sneak past a Culver University security guard (played by TV's Incredible Hulk, Lou Ferrigno) to find the data, which is no where to be found. One night Betty visits the pizzeria, and sees Bruce, later reuniting with him.

Blonsky reports to Ross that Bruce evaded them in Brazil because of the appearance of a large green monster. Ross explains that the monster is Banner, and that he was created accidentally during an experiment in radiation-resistance that, unbeknownst to Banner himself, was inspired by World War II era military bio-force enhancement research, or "Super-Soldiers", as Blonsky puts it. Blonsky, seeking both revenge and power, volunteers as a test subject in order to capture Banner, and receives a small dose of of the mothballed original super-soldier formula made in WWII by Dr. Reinstein and a part of the Weapon Plus program. He leads an assault on Banner at Culver University, during which Betty is knocked unconscious.

Despite Blonsky's increased strength, speed and agility, the Hulk crushes most of the bones in Blonsky's body before absconding with Betty to Smokey Mountain National Forrest. Banner and Betty then travel to Manhattan, where they meet Banner’s "Mr. Blue" Internet friend, Samuel Sterns (Tim Blake Nelson). Accompanying Sterns to his lab, Banner and Betty learn that Sterns has developed a possible antidote. This antidote was designed to work by reversing the affects after Banner becomes the Hulk. Whether or not the antidote would permanently cure Banner or reverse the transformation during a single episode was unknown. An overdose of the antidote would possibly kill Banner while not enough would do nothing. Despite the risks, Banner agrees to test Sterns' antidote and willingly becomes the Hulk. The test is successful and Banner is reverted to normal with an injection of the serum.

Exhilarated by the success of the antidote, Sterns reveals that he has synthesized Banner's blood sample into a large supply with the intention of using it to enhance the human condition to the next evolutionary level. Appalled by what Sterns had done and fearful of the the Hulk's power falling into the wrong hands, Banner attempts to convince Sterns to destroy the blood supply. From outside Stern's laboratory, Army snipers are able to tranquilize Banner, having found the lab after tracing the communication between Banner and Sterns.

As both Banner and Betty are taken into custody aboard a helicopter, a power-hungry Blonsky, whose super-soldier treatment has healed all his injuries, confronts Sterns and demands he subject him to a dose of the Banner's gamma radiation treatment. Sterns warns that the combination of the super-soldier serum and a gamma treatment would be an unpredictable combination. Blonsky however is less than concerned about the possible consequences and Sterns promptly administers the gamma charge. As Blonsky mutates into a hideous beast, he knocks Sterns aside and an irradiated sample of Banner's blood-derivative drips into an open wound on Sterns temple, causing his cranium to mutate and expand. The Abomination goes on a rampage in the city, hoping to draw out Banner.

Banner, realizing that he is the only one who can stop the Abomination, convinces General Ross to release him. He jumps out of Ross' helicopter as it hovers over the city, hoping the fall will stimulate his adrenal glands into triggering a transformation. Banner transforms into the Hulk and engages Blonsky, only to find that the Abomination is bigger and stronger than the Hulk. As the battle rages across New York City, the Hulk's anger increases and as a result, so does his strength. He is eventually able to overpower the Abomination and strangles him with a huge chain. The Hulk is about to kill the Abomination when Betty reaches Banner within the Hulk and convinces him that he is not a killer. Having spared the Abomination's life, the Hulk flees the scene with the army in hot pursuit.

Thirty one days later, Banner is in Bella Coola, British Columbia. Instead of trying to suppress his transformations, he is attempting to initiate them in a controlled manner. As his eyes turn green, a grin appears on his face. Meanwhile, General Ross is drinking in a bar when he is approached by Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) who reveals that a "team" is being put together.
